red weather was a cracking tune and they were always quite engaging live. everyone i knew whod heard of them a few years back hated them for some reason. their first was abit ropey in places and dont expect this one to be amazing...i'll give it a listen or two i think though just out of curiousity

Was the DS at Koko, way in early 2004. Been a fan ever since, although I was amongst the many who thought the original tracklisting and order on the leaked version that year was better than the actual release in 2005. I always thought they were cheated of a fair bit of success than they actually got due to the whole record label going bust thing, meaning any word-of-mouth hype had worn off by the time it actually came out.

Loved the new EP, though. Hopefully this will see them properly taking off.

was really good but the album was disappointing and they were really bad when I saw them ( trying to sound a bit garagey... )
But the ex-voto EP was quite nice and the songs I've heard from the new album are rather promising so... let's hope !

its a good record, I've only heard it once so i cant really judge. Its definately not worse than the first record! I'm glad they put Dog Roses on the LP as its brilliant. I did hear quite a lot of the new stuff live at that secret gig in Soho - and despite the sound being shocking they had a LOT of energy

you're right about Leila - she sounds better and her lyrics are a bit grown up!)

anyway, they did an acoustic session for our radio station a couple of months ago thats up as a podcast
